Read.
He covered his up and downpipe with one 50' roll. He hopes to cover his headers with another 50' roll.

Down side of wrap: I just had to cut all mine off a down pipe after a blown CV boot.

Thanks for the great write up, just did my up pipe and a 4th of my DP with a 2 inch x 25' roll.
My cheapo Chinese scissors worked fine after I ran a sharpening steel over them a few times. Last edited by ubeflyer; 01-29-2013 at 10:44 PM. Reason: 2 inch wrap |

newb question but what will the wrap help with... you probably answered this in your write up but is it to keep the heat insulated around the pipes so you are not radiating heat to the rest of the engine. Thanks ill check back here shortly.

It will help greatly with engine bay heat, yes. it also helps keep your turbo spooled up as well.

Good question: but you must first ask yourself: "is my shi- leaking right now?" If it is, you should probably fix it before wrapping. Otherwise, oil should not be dripping anywhere.

IMO: Do all 3 (headers, up, down pipes) or you're wasting your time. others may have something to say about this as well as i'm no expert.

I think you'd have a problem wrapping the stock parts.. they have heat shields iirc. also don't forget to get a tune asap if you get a new up pipe and headers... else you'll be running very lean and throwing cel's

short of a CV boot tearing and spraying axle grease (as correctly stated above by 424wrx) or picking up crap from the road, the UP and DP stay rather "oil free."
The headers can be a different story. If you heat wrap your header you will need to be very careful when you change your oil. I cover my wrapped headers with aluminium foil for each oil change. Easy to manipulate with the tight clearance between the oil pan and runner. You can just wipe-off oil from heat wrap. |

cobb ap won't tune your car and you should also get an AEM UEGO (or any other wideband afr gauge) with the downpipe.

Please keep this thread on topic. There is ample information out there regarding what is needed/known for modifications and tuning. If in doubt and you are using a COBB product, ask them.
Thanks. |

has anybody tried using cv boot clamp tools to clamp down the wrap instead of trying to get the SS ties tight by hand? I'm gonna wrap my new setup in the next cpl weeks and was planning on doing it that way
